Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to a directed reflect array with a tiled configuration for fixed wireless applications. The directed reflect array includes a substrate and a plurality of reflective tiles disposed on the substrate, wherein the plurality of reflective tiles are individually arranged to produce a directed radiation pattern that is directed toward a target reflection point based at least on a reflection phase of one or more reflective tiles in the plurality of reflective tiles. Other examples disclosed herein relate to a method of configuring a directed reflect array and a wireless network system that includes a directed reflect array.
Claims20
A reflect array, comprising:
- a plurality of reflective tiles configured to produce, upon reflection of an incoming signal, a radiation pattern directed toward a target reflection area, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of reflective tiles includes spaces of different dimensions between reflective tiles.
A method of calibrating a reflect array, comprising:
- calculating a reflection phase for at least one reflection element of a plurality of reflection elements of the reflect array, wherein the calculating comprises applying weights to a calculation of the at least one reflection element in the plurality of reflection elements;
- determining a configuration of the plurality of reflection elements in the reflect array based on the calculated reflection phase;
- and
- calibrating the reflect array based on a determined accuracy of the configuration.
A wireless network system, comprising:
- a reflect array comprising a plurality of reflective structures, the plurality of reflective structures having spaces between reflective structures, wherein each reflective structure of the plurality of reflective structures and each space between reflective structures are dimensioned and positioned to apply a specific phase shift to an incoming signal.
